Aeone - Voice Of America Lyrics
A man on the radio wakes me from sleepI've tried not to listen, but my conscience is weakI've come up for air, 'cause I really can't breatheSometimes I think that he's talking to me...The voice of AmericaThe call of a stranger reach in to meThe cry of a soldierThe sound of a motherMakes my heart weep...I come home at night and turn on the tvAnd the face of a woman stares out from the screenI try not to look, but the truth still remainsHer eyes speak the words that embody my pain...The voice of AmericaThe call of a stranger reach in to meThe cry of a soldierThe sound of a motherMakes my heart weep...So I drove to the oceanAnd lay down on the sandTo commune with the silence, the waves and the landBut someone was shouting to meFrom the hollows below the ground...It's the cry of a man on the streetIt's a mother, it's a soldier, it's a priestIt's a boy in a gang with a gunIt's a voice and it's coming from everyoneIt's the tears of a childAnd the sound of a woman who can't speakIt's the old people talking about the young girlsLaughing at the young boys playing on the beachIt's your lover's voice and the kid that you can never teachThe brother you can't reachIt touches you and all that you can never seeIt's the choir boy's song and the man who's never coming homeIt's a drum, it's a nunWe are one single voiceMake the choice and rejoiceWith the voice of America!The voice of AmericaThe call of a stranger reach in to meThe cry of a soldierThe sound of a motherMakes my heart weep...(We all connect at the heart of itWe all play our own part in itYou are never alone you knowYou are finally coming home...)The voice of AmericaThe call of a stranger reach in to meThe cry of a soldierThe sound of a motherMakes my heart weep...
